Making a Scene: John Wilson on Blowing Up a Car in ‘How To’ and Steven Soderbergh’s Thoughts on The Cheesecake Factory


John Wilson breaks down how he staged a car explosion in HBO's 'How To' for Variety's 'Making A Scene.'

The master of weaving seemingly unrelated narratives and anecdotal tangents together into an (often emotional) truth about humanity sat down with Variety ‘s Making a Scene to discuss why he was ready to address the disbelievers and unveil his process of creating the final season of “How To.” But after a brief chat, it turns out that Soderbergh didn’t really have many notes, so he spent the majority of the talk expounding on the merits of the chain restaurant The Cheesecake Factory.
